Thank you, Tom. That helps me make my choice: I need to save up and do this
right for my canti-cable, with a front rack.

Getting the right bag is a fun (and often expensive!) game. It's like
purchasing multiple purses, one too big, one too small, fashionable,
practical, waterproof, lightweight, not too expensive, but not cheap or
poorly made.
It really boils down to how you will used it and there is no way to
If none of the bag offerings from Rivendell are fitting the bill, you might
want to consider custom/made-to-order bags from these two talented artisans.
I'd like to personally attest to the quality of Ely's bags. I do not own
one, but have seen several on bicycles in the SF Bay Area.
I have been very pleased with the quality of my Black Rose bag. You can
also dialogue with them on adaptations.

Thank you all! I've decided to go with a front mini-rack, Wald basket, and
possibly the large bag Riv. offers. Down the road, if I want, I'll have the
rack for a rando bag if I want.

It is a serious challenge to get a bag with easy access, little sway, and

Thank you, Nick, Mannie, and Rob. Yes, Rob, sway is a big issue for my
noggin, as it introduces a lot of interference to clear proprioception
through the handlebars. The good news is I don't need to reach anything

I just started using the Large Arkel handlebar bag.I love it. Great
mounting system that will work with noodles, mustache, and albatross bars.
It's large enough for my DSLR and a moderate zoom lens. Stable and easy

Thanks, Erl. It's great to see the bag on the Albas (and both the regular
and small are the same basic external dimensions, with the regular just
being 1.5 taller). What if the stabilizer chords met at the back of your
stem? Would that remove any sway?
I'd also wondered on the regular size, if
My concern is the stabalizer bar which extends the width of the bag. The keeps
bag from being snugged up against the bar as it is pictured on dropbars on

Your idea of attaching around the stem is intriguing. I may try the bag on
another bike with albatross bars and no stem

Ely of Ruth Bags is an SF local that does all the SFrandonnuers handlebar bags.
He's a one man shop who does bags to order. Man of integrity and passion. Makes

friend.
